Did you all watch SuperNanny last night????? MAN! Was I pissed off during the second episode that was on. I could not believe that those people(I won't call them parents!!)would treat their teenage daughters like that. Those poor girls were working their butts off and running after the little kids and cooking and cleaning. Hell - they should've just kicked those people(not parents) out of the house and they wouldn't have had half of their problems. The man(not dad) expecting them to clean and take care of the little kids and the woman(not mom) leaving and not doing anything that resembled a mom! I could not believe that those people(not parents) didn't get in some trouble for the way they were treating the teenage kids. I just still am in disbelief that anyone could treat their children that way. It just made me want to contact ABC and get the number for those teenage girls and ask them to come live with us!! Don't get me wrong - I feel kids should help out and have chores - our kids do - but this was the extreme! I love the SuperNanny show. I love Jo Jo. I watch for her tips. I was freakin' out last night because in the last week we started putting Piper in the "naughty" chair. I thought I made it up.... but then last night while I was watching - Jo Jo has the naughty chair. I guess I probably heard it on the past shows and that is where I pulled it out my butt when we started using it on our little demon.

Piper keeps turning on and off the TV. This is the reason she has seen the naughty chair for the most part. We do real good at sitting her in it each time she does a naughty thing. Plus her other favorite thing to do to get in trouble is climb up the desk chair and get on our desk and beat on the computer or mess with all the stuff on the desk. I learned from Jo Jo that one of the secrets to this is being consistent. So no matter how tired I am - I try to be consistent. I want her to understand that some behaviors are just not acceptable. But we will see. Especially since my crazy husband - wants a brat!!!

I am so tired of the cold, cold weather. The temperature on my truck this morning was 5 degrees. That is ridiculous. Steve and I have vacationed SEVERAL times in California. We love it there. The first time we went out - if Ashley and Riley could've moved - we would've been GONE!!! We love the busy life and the awesome weather. Each year I get older - this weather is harder and harder to take. Really how can we live with this weather from November till at least March. We are just crazy to live with this! This year my feet have been freezin' off! I know I need a pair of boots. I am just really having a hard time doing that. I need to find that "right" pair that won't make me look like an old lady. You know what I am talking about the ones that go up about mid-calf and have the fur popping out the top and they zip up the front. I just feel like an old lady in those!!! Maybe this weekend we can check a few places and see what they have. I did find a pair at this one store and sure - they were 125.00 - I am not paying that much for boots. I will just not.

I love Ashley having her cell phone. She texted me right after work tonight and then the next thing I knew she was calling me. It was great. She said she just thought she would call me. I loved it. Her and I chat for awhile and lucky for her Steve and I rode to work together today so I was able to pass off the phone to her dad! He was happy too! I told him that phone was cool because before it - she would've never picked up the phone and called us like that! Last night her and I were texting each other and she told me she wanted me to call her Sunday because she will be bored. lol. I wish so much that she lived with us. She is turning into such a nice young lady. She is so helpful when she is here. You don't even have to (most of the time) tell her what to do - she just does it - ahead of you!!

My political husband is just so crazy right now with this presidential stuff. I do enjoy it though. I feel like I need to pay attention because they talk about all the things that I need to care about and be up to date on. I was thinking the other day that I could see him someday running for some kind of office - and then I got to thinkin' about all the dirt they could dig up on his past..... man - if you read his blog you know what I am talking about and I know many things that he hasn't put on his blog - hell just imagine when they dig up his blog and tell the voters to check it out! Also I was thinkin' about us being followed by the camera hounds trying to get our picture when we are coming out of the mall!! I don't know if I will be able to take being the first lady.... holy shit - I will get to plan Christmas at the White House.... Steve was really looking forward to Bill Clinton getting to be the first lady that gets to organize Christmas at the White House. That is my favorite thing to watch during the holidays. I hope someday to go to the White House and volunteer to do Christmas at the White House!!
